seasons around here. beautiful weather today. high pressure is in charge for now. clear skies will make for a chilly start by early monday morning. but a marvelous monday afternoon coming up. then a few extra clouds coming in as we get into the day on tuesday. i think any real rain chances will stay to our north and leave us high and dry except maybe you folks far northern maryland out into the panhandle of west virginia. overnight, clear skies, nothing to worry about. another chilly start in the morning. 30s out best of the blue ridge, mid and upper 40s in town. back to work and school, outdoor recess tomorrow. outdoor recess all week long. the big warm-up begins, upper 60s and low 70s tomorrow. here is the seven-day forecast that jim is going to give me $1 million for. >> oh, yeah. >> 72 tomorrow, 78 on tuesday, wednesday 82, thursday 79, both of those days, jim, are within one degree of a record. the record on wednesday 83 dates back to 2001 but the record on thursday, 80, goes back to 1902.

sports. >> carol is back to sort of dissect things a little bit with this game. >> i'm going to say what everyone says, it was tough, right? that was the quote after the game. that was a tough one. >> yeah. >> the number one trouble spot for the redskins this season, defending the pass. came in today worst in the nfl in yards in the air. eli manning exposed that weakness late in the game. all eyes on griffin playing in his first nfc east game of his career. bad news for the skins' office, that's fred davis working in the end zone and davis goes down holding his left leg. has to hobble off, and it's a torn left achilles, davis is done for the season. fast forward to the fourth. just over two to play. redskins down 20-16 with a fourth and ten.

this is why rg3 is so special. fires a complete pass to logan paulsen. a 19-yard gain and the redskins keep the drive alive. three plays later griffin going long for santana moss a 30-yard touchdown. his second of the day. rg3 did it again. gives them the lead with 1:30 to go. 23-20, but eli manning knows plenty about fourth quarter comebacks. 22 in his career and he's doing it again today. 15 seconds after the moss td, manning hooks up with victor cruz. a 77-yard touchdown. giants retake the lead, 27-23. you know what this means. it's salsa time. but the skins skill with a chance. 45 seconds to go, griffin to moss, but the man with two touchdowns on the day, he coughs up the ball. giants recover, washington with four turnovers all in the second half. redskins fall 27-23. they drop to 3-4 on the year. here is dan hellie with more

from metlife stadium. >> reporter: two number 10s out there on the field and it's almost too bad only one could come out on top. the veteran outdoes the rookie. eli manning with yet another fourth quarter comeback, his eighth in the last two seasons. >> eli is like joe montana right now. he's great. when i was here, he was good, and he's shown flashes, but he's exceptional right now, and he's got nerves of steel. they never feel like they're out of the game because they have so much faith in him and he rarely lets them down. so to beat this team, you're going to have to bury him and put the dirt on top of hem and put cement on top of it and watch it dry. anything short of that, they're still in the game and you saw that today. >> well, they sure proved it today. it was a great throw, double covered. hit it right on the money. big-time throw. >> we're competitors. he did a good job leading his team to victory today. you know, hopefully in the future i will have many more

chances to do that for my team, but, you know, when the game is on the line, you want the ball in your hands and you believe you can do it and there wasn't a doubt in my mind that we would win that game. >> i'm afraid of him in the fourth quarter when he has the balls in his hands. same thing with ben roethlisberger, tom brady, all those guys, russell wilson, rg3 right now. doesn't matter who you are, it's about making the plays when the opportunity is presented. eli does that, our guy did it, too. but we fell short. >> reporter: the redskins not only losing the game, but they lose their starting tight end fred davis for the rest of the season with a torn achilles. the big yes now, is cooley coming back? we'll find out more on monday. dan hellie, news4 sports. >> before because we have the report. he mentioned fred davis. london flesh fletcher left the game late with a hamstring injury. the baltimore ravens did something today they haven't done in a long time, and that's
